Design Automation

Modular Design Automation

GLSV engineers and software developers utilize modular design automation to speed the development time of engineered products. Software is built to eliminate labor intensive tasks affiliated with design iteration. GLSV combines years of experience in developing engineered solutions with creative software development to introduce design automation technology to new products.

Modular Muffler Development

Design automation for modular muffler development includes automated design, analysis, manufacturing model and manufacturing drawing generation. Automating this process provides GLSV with the ability to create cost effective customized engineered mufflers with very short lead times. The result is a high performance cost competitive muffler designed and built for a specific application.
